CHRISTMAS, 2016

There's a density
of spirits
in the spaces
between bodies.
A hand comes at me
across the table;
I don't know
whose it is,
but I take it.

THERE'S A SPACE

that's ours
alone.
You know
that space.
The space
that allows
you
to breathe.
It's there
in the space
between
confusion
& conspiracy,
between
form
& shadow,
between
doubt
& conviction.
Treasure
that space.
Make love
in that space,
to
that space.
Be eternally grateful
for that space--
it's all
you have
& all
anyone
ever
gets.
